I repeat: I am still convinced Bad Joke is Bonkers' trait.
There is absolutely no valid reason to believe that.

Intrigue Check: Get in without being noticed!
DC 70
49+38+28+5+10=130
Success!
That +10 is Tooned In. If it wasn't there would have been a ???.

Learning Check: What is this?
DC 80
62+15+40+10=127
Success!
And this is absolutely Tooned In.

Furthermore if it was Bonker's trait, Tooned In would have existed somehow.

The potential for information a member of the Toon Patrol can give us is worth far more than Bonkers himself. I say the risk is definitely worth it.
That is not the trade off. The risk is causing the conflict between Doof and Doom to start causing Doom to attack our hero units in retaliation for this.

And Russ, our source for all things Toon, is far from his peak performance right now.
 
Seems like the trade off here is:

Do we want to risk Bonker's life to try to prove his innocence (kidnap weasel)?

Or we do want to save Bonker's life with minimal complications (leave)?

[X] Take the weasel prisoner

Doom's smart-ish- and more importantly, has a grasp on narrative. He'd know it was us extracting Bonkers either way.
 
[X] Leave before the weasel wakes up

As much as I want to take the weasel, Bonkers comes first. Also, we will be antagonizing Doom whatever we choose since the Phantom Blot knows about the mission.

If we just let him leave, then even if Doom thinks it was us he has no definite proof about it, limiting his options.

If we take him with us and the weasel escapes now, there is no way of hiding our involvement with trespassing and destruction of police assets. Wile E. at bare minimum is a known DEI employee, and Doom has met Russ before.

Edit: if we take him, then we probably also have to keep an eye on him for the foreseeable future, all for whatever information that he has.

A quick evacuation is in our best interests. I also doubt our ability to keep the Weasel contained due to Kat's presence.​
 
Uh. How many wanted felons are employed by us already? Because we do have supervillains working for us. Some of them already served their time, but I'm not sure all of them did.
The issue with that is that the public thinks that Bonkers murdered someone, and is already disinclined to think positively of Toons. Furthermore states do extradite criminals to other states. With people like Shego they'd block it in ways that didn't disrupt the system.

Or rather they wouldn't get themselves into this sort of mess, but I am entertaining this idea. Doof wouldn't do it in the optimal way given how, tenuous DEI's influence is.

And that would get the Federal Government involved.

Furthermore, this would signal to Doom that he should start kidnapping our hero units.

I am aware. I am saying that going home with only Bonkers leaves us pretty much nowhere in actual leads on Doom's storyline. We'd be left up to fate which, given narrative conventions, means we'd eventually find a way back on track, but I'd rather take the upper hand on the narrative. Having Bonkers without the weasel or some other lead is kinda worthless for that.

Also, don't really care if Doom escalates because the Doom and Toon storyline is my favorite one to track at the moment so forcing people to give higher priority to it is an unintentional bonus in the case of failure, if one that I still prefer we not receive at all due to the other consequences.

This is already one of the longer quests. There isn't a particular reason to believe that this is a choose one option to continue the Quest and choose the other to call it quits.

Doom won't be escalating. We would be escalating. He would simply be responding to unwarranted attacks on his employees.
